Can confirm this privacy option existed since I installed WhatsApp on my brand new LG G2 back in 2014. I turned it on then right away and never turned it off in all the years and phones I've had since.
The price for people not seeing your "last seen" status, is that you don't see other's people's "last seen" status. Which is fine by me.
- lxgr 4y agoOnly the first option has always been around. Being able to completely hide your online status is brand new.
- luispauloml 4y ago>Being able to completely hide your online status is brand new. Unless new configuration options may appear without an update, it is not "brand new". I just checked and I have that option, and I updated WhatsApp in August 14, when I was forced to do so. My version is 2.22.16.75.
- anthropodie 4y agoThat option is kind of dormant in app I think and gets enabled from backend. I updated two phones at same time around a month ago and one of them did not have that option until 2-3days back.
- ffpip 4y agoIt is new. Was just released in September. https://www.livemint.com/technology/tech-news/whatsapp-brings-ability-to-hide-online-status-for-these-users-11663240084384.html https://www.livemint.com/technology/tech-news/whatsapp-bring...
- lxgr 4y ago> Unless new configuration options may appear without an update That is indeed how WhatsApp seem to have been rolling out features recently.
